Family members

Impact on families

We know that what one family member goes through can affect everyone else. Those dealing with moral injury may feel unworthy of love or care, which can make it hard for them to be close to others. They might pull away from loved ones and stop doing everyday activities, and this can be misunderstood by family members as rejection, abandonment, or not caring—sometimes even leading to self-blame. It’s important to remember to take care of yourself, too.
